There has been considerable debate regarding the ideal anaesthetic technique for Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL). PCNL is usually performed under general anaesthesia (GA) in prone position. The prone position under GA is associated with various complications. To address these complications, our study was carried out to determine whether epidural anaesthesia [EA] with dexmedetomidine sedation can be a better alternative to GA for PCNL.
